Author: Enjoy Life Foods
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: bunches of little goblins
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons brown rice syrup
- ¼ cup sunflower seed butter
- Crispy rice cereal, enough to cover bottom of shallow pan
- 1 (10-ounce) bag dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips (like Enjoy Life Minis)
- 2 teaspoons non-hydrogenated shortening (such as Spectrum)
Instructions
- Pour the rice cereal into a shallow pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sunflower seed butter and brown rice syrup. The mixture should be quite stiff. Pinch off about ½ tablespoon and form it into a pear shape.
- Roll the pear shaped sunflower mixture in the cereal, pressing the cereal in to stick. Reshape the "hobgoblins" if needed. Set them in the refrigerator while making the chocolate coating.
- Put the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwaveable container. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat, then heat in 10 second intervals just until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Do not overheat.
- Using a fork, dip the goblins (one at a time) into the melted chocolate. Make sure to carefully tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place them on parchment lined sheet.
- To give those creepy creatures some eyes, use a single rice puff for each eye. You can even give them eyeballs but putting a small drop of chocolate in the center of the rice puff. You could also use frosting to create eyes or even a mouth! Have fun and be creative.
- Let sit to harden. You can quicken the hardening by placing in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
